Incredible depth and detail that opened up the Mass Readings for me.
Please please put it on a DVD..
Great introduction to the catechism. Left me wanting more. We need a explanation on every paragraph.

The Dead Sea Scrolls have been called the greatest archeological find of the twentieth century. Yet, controversy and confusion continue to swirl around these ancient writings. Did the Vatican suppress their publication? Do they mention Jesus? Are New Testament texts found among them? Do they undermine the Christian faith? Dr. Bergsma answers these questions, and many others in this lecture series on the Scrolls such as:
• When were the Scrolls written, and by whom?
• Were the Scrolls written by Jewish monks of the "Essene" order?
• Was John the Baptist a member of the Scrolls community?
• What light do the Scrolls shed on Jesus and the Last Supper?
• Why are the Scrolls important for understanding St. Paul and Romans?
• What relationship is there between the 12 Tribes of Israel and the Qumran Community of the Scrolls?
Dr. Bergsma demonstrates how the Dead Sea Scrolls enable us to understand the Biblical and Jewish background of the Catholic faith like never before!
Extremely informative look into the world of Judaism at the time of Christ.
I have only been through 4 talks and am blown away by the evidence and history. I cannot wait for the other episodes!
So far so good! LOTS of great info.
I have now listened to Dr Bergsma's CD series on the Dead Sea Scrolls several times, and I get more out of it each time I listen. It has been a wonderful journey of faith into world of Jewish beliefs in the time of Jesus. I have recommended it to many others in my parish. There are more than 18 hours of audio, and it is worth every minute of your time.
Enjoying listening to it and all the great info it gives.
